The Cave of Time is the first book in the Choose Your Own Adventure gamebook series published by Bantam Books. Written by Edward Packard and published in 1979, it established the standard look and feel for all future titles in the series. As with many gamebook formats, the story unfolds by asking the reader to make context-driven decisions and to jump to specific page numbers to continue reading the outcome of those decisions. Similar to other works of interactive fiction, this gives the reader the chance to experience different outcomes and ultimately arrive at several different endings, depending on the decisions they make.
